Some people said they can’t do editing work with Sony FDR-AX53 4K videos in
Sony Vegas Pro. Now let’s find out the reason and give the solution.

One of the biggest features about Sony FDR-AX53 is High-speed REC for
slow-motion movies. Sony FDR-AX53 is able to record a movie at a high frame rate such as 120 fps/100 fps (NTSC/PAL) in Full HD. Slow motion movie will reveal startling image quality in every
instance of action. With Time-lapse Capture, shoot stills of a scene over a period of time with a chosen interval between each shot and edit the sequence into a high-quality 4K time-lapse
movie.

However some Sony FDR-AX53 users said Sony Vegas Pro dropped part of frames
and the main window got stuck when they try to edit Sony FDR-AX53 4K video in Sony Vegas Pro. The most likely reason to the problem is the hardware of your computer doesn’t meet the minimum
system requirement of editing Sony FDR-AX53 4K video in Sony Vegas Pro. The most effective solution to solve the problem is upgrading your computer to the proper system requirement for working
with Sony FDR-AX53 4K video in Sony Vegas Pro.

If you want a quicker way to do editing work with Sony FDR-AX53 4K video in
Sony Vegas Pro, then I would suggest you to downgrade the 4K video to 1080P(1920 x 1080). Considering Sony FDR-AX53 4K video is encoded as XAVC S codec, transcoding the 4K XAVC S video to
Advanced Video Coding will be much better for your work. Here I’d like to introduce a professional XAVC S Converter to you - Pavtube 4K Video

What kind of solution is this? If I am lookig for information about how to edit and render 4k images it's not because I wanna make a 1080p video. Then why would I film in 4k and then convert it into
1080p if I can just film in 1080?
